When the beloved Minneapolis band Nice Purse tragically ceased to be, a smoking hole was left where the bombastic group once stood tall. Fortunately for the humans of the universe, lead man France Camp decided to continue writing and releasing his own brand of surf punk under his assumed name - along with James Wolfeatens, Dylan Rose and Kyle Kimm - to equally awesome returns.

I’m Frankie Teardrop, and I like to make rock and roll jams. Sometimes I talk about drug abuse, the impossibility of relating to humans in a fucked up world, being fucked up myself, and whether or not love is real and how that feels. I talk about other shit too, like taking a good hard look in the fucking mirror. Do that before you come to one of my shows and then let all that shit go when you get there. LET’S RIP!

Teenage Moods shred perfect pop gem songs with such honesty and ease that you can't help but grin until it hurts. Their smart yet ramshackle rhythm section propel skeletal guitar melodies that you think are off-the-cuff until you realize they're classic. Garage without the stupidity, twee without the preciousness, pop with no pretension. Rock and roll straight from the heart.
